I have recently read that she had a brother (Anthony) and sister (Elizabeth Elinor), can this be confirmed, as I read in Burke's Peerage that Elizabeth was an only child. Was she a child from a second marriage (of her father Arthur Nash)and the other 2 children from a first, as there seems an age gap. Isabella was married in 1825 to Henry Middleton Short, a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy. I believe 3 of Anthony's sons emigrated to America in 1861. Did he keep in touch with his sister Isabella? Did Anthony's widowed wife and son Edward, keep in touch with Isabella? Also Anthony was disinheited from his land, did his father do that to him, if not who did? What was the maiden name of Isabella's mother? This information is no longer available as the records were lost in the 4 Courts fire in Dublin. When did Isabella's father die and how old was he? I would be grateful for any information on the above matters. Thankyou. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
